April Showers
We're ready for the showers, whether rain or sun! This 21.5in x 15.5in wall hanging is just right to bring Spring into your sewing room or office. A vintage green truck, flowers, quilt, and a striped and polka dotted umbrella to boot! What more could anybody ask for? Pattern includes instructions for colored pencil tinting, hand embroidery, and piecing the little quilt.
